THE BEAT

One bar, and 12% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 4-6, 8-10 and 20-22, and 3 more places -- 12% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

130 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Merestä Maalle hard to play on drums?

69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

148 bars, about 4:02 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 60 exercises over 17 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Merestä Maalle?

14 fills to learn, played 34 times: bars 3, 7, 11, 13, 17, 23 and 28 more.
